Waves of Joy

Everyone's doing it and noone is talking about it, so let's break the silence once and for all. Tune in today to hear all about period sex. Is it messy, is it sexy, is it healthy? Are there better positions, does it smell, and how to get your partner on board? Turn the volume up loud and put the kids down for a nap, it's time to find out what you've been missing out on all thes...

Turbulence is one of the most unpredictable of all the weather phenomena. Have you ever been on a flight where the turbulence is so bad that you think, this is it, this is how it all goes down? Luckily, I have been on just a few of these flights and they all taught me something about myself. I say luckily because I travel around the world often so anytime a flight goes up and lands on the ground w...

People don't realize until they are on their deathbed and everything external falls away that no thing ever had anything to do with who they are. We spend our lives defending our beliefs, pushing aside our purpose in life, and bringing all of this unnecessary baggage to our deathbed. Today I voice Denzel Washington's famous graduation speech. After listening to it three times yesterday,...

I remember walking into my bedroom, dropping to my knees at my bedside, hands pressed so tightly in front of my heart I could feel the sweat running down my forearms, my head dropped as I surrendered. The wetness from my eyes ran into the creases of my mouth as I prayed, prayed I would fall asleep and not wake up. This is the only time in my life I remember losing my will to live and today I wante...

What if we could laugh in the midst of our world falling apart? What if we could bask in the hilarity of how temporary this drowning feeling truly is? Like cloud 9, rock bottom is just as temporary. It's simply a place that shows us who we are and who we are not. In this very brief time our physical bodies are here on this earth, how will you choose to spend your days? Today we deep dive into...

Regroup. Revisit. Resolve. Recently, I had a disagreement with someone I care about and I handled it much differently than I would have in the past. This was a true awakening for me and something that I wanted to share with you because conflict can be healthy and it is necessary for any relationship to grow. Tone, timing, and temperament is everything. It's not just about what we say, it&apos...

You know that saying fake it till you make it? I call bullshit on that! Behaviors match your intentions, your intentions match your actions, and your actions determine your destiny. Your brain does not know what has or hasn't happened yet, so every day you have a new chance to create your future instead of hoping it will happen for you. If you want a family, visualize your children, blue eyes...

When is the last time you had a conversation with a stranger in line for the bathroom? When is the last time you asked the person five years ahead of you how to take the first step towards your new business? When is the last time you truly talked about yourself?  Life isn't about a big break, it isn't about one pivotal life changing moment, it's about the small moments that compound...

5 years ago I got married. I said I do, for what I thought was the rest of my life. 4 years ago I laid behind my couch in fetal position to call my parents and tell them I was getting divorced.  All your plans are just that, plans. Life will constantly interfere, redirect you, and refocus you. Your willingness to get uncomfortable and accept these redirections is your unique human experience. Anxi...

There are two ways you can build your life, on quicksand, or on a rock. Often we judge the moment, we wish to be somewhere we are not, and we miss what is happening for us right now. Today we talk about having a safe place to fall apart and how becoming grounded in uncertainty can change your life forever. I also confess how I clogged the toilet on my first sleepover, when my first book will be av...

Sometimes life feels like a bag over your head, suffocating from the life you thought you were supposed to live.  Those lukewarm feelings about a career, or a relationship, indicate it’s time for you to do a self audit and take an honest look at your life. No matter how much you love that job, relationship, or pair of comfy jeans, we outgrow things that once felt like home to us. There is magic in...

You know what I realized after looking over my most downloaded podcast episodes? Y'all LOVE my non-existent love life. The first dates and the heartbreaks are among the most popular downloads which cracks me up. So I thought I would keep riding down this road of transparency and tell you all about my Hinge profile, who I am matching with, how I decide if I should match with them, when to dele...

Most days we are on autopilot, living the so called "American dream." Wake up, work, eat, sleep, whatever your routine is we live life very unconsciously. In doing so we neglect our hearts, and we trade our gut instinct for the all consuming voice in our head. When was the last time you took a risk to gain knowledge, strategy and wisdom to propel you forward in life? What if I told you t...

Did you know there is actually no reason at all to get stressed out? There is no reason for blowing up or shutting down. If you allow each moment of each day to pass through you, life becomes an exhilarating vacation. This life is a playground, there is no rulebook and you can't screw this up. What you can do is make peace with the present moment and stop running around like a high strung cra...

Get out of bed, throw your hair in a pineapple bun, put on a smile, and fake it till you make it. Am I right? This is what society has deemed "living." I am here to tell you after facebook generously showed me where I was a year ago, fake it till you make is bullshit and your entire life will surely pass you by if you don't wake up soon and create your HAPPY. Happiness looks differe...

As summer fades to fall and we yearn for a clear mind, an open heart and a sexy body, we punish ourselves for where we are in this very moment. Why didn't we meditate consistently, why did we eat 3 doughnuts before bed, or why did we cheat on our spouse? If you have ever tried restricting anything in your life and had no long term success this is the episode for you. To spend your life tearin...

It won't happen to me, it can't happen to me, a mindset I choose not to employ when I am backpacking Europe solo. I truly see the best in people and I believe in faith over fear even when bad things happen to good people. On October 9th 2022, in a split second everything I owned was gone and I found myself at a beach club party in Greece without a phone, a passport or a penny to my name....

Our journey upward and inward is never over. Our perception is like a set of emotional lenses that we hold in our back pocket, ready to switch out with other pairs when we choose to. Reflecting on my intimate relationships over the past few years I ruminate on the same line said over and over again, "you were the one that got away." Today we deep dive into falling in love all over again...

It has been said that all of us are most powerfully positioned to serve the person we once were. Have you been broke? Have you traveled the world? Have you struggled with an eating disorder? Have you gone through a divorce? Have you struggled with hormone imbalance? Today I want to offer you a moment to dig deep into what makes you UNIQUE. Don't ask what the world needs, ask yourself what mak...

Today's background music brought to you by hot and heavy italian sex in a small town known as Lucca, Italy. I didn't plan this, I couldn't plan this if I tried but I am here for it and you should be too. I love, love and to be honest this journey has showed me so much love and I want to share it all with you. Today we deep dive into how Switzerland emptied my pockets, how I will nev...

Did I just join the european army by accident? Today I do my best to put into words how I feared for my life on this 14 hour overnight train ride. I wish I could say I was exaggerating but after hearing a loud thud and a blood curdling scream I knew this had to be the end. Maybe you feel a bit bad for me because you are claustrophobic or maybe you think I am dramatic, but I ask you not to judge un...

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder and you could find me holding alot of beer in Munich, Germany. Oktoberfest is something everyone must experience once in their life. It is a culturally beautiful, controlled, chaotic drunk fest that brings you to life. The festival originated in October 1810 in celebration of the marriage of the crown prince of Bavaria. The 5 large beer tents all represent s...

If your whole life is getting to and getting through, you are missing your life altogether.  I was tested in Germany and I love that for me. Life would be so incredibly boring if we could predict our day to day, at least that's what I was telling myself the last 24 hours. With this awful chest cold thanks to hostels being like daycares where you get everyones shit, forgetting my debit card in...

Have you ever said hello to a stranger completely naked in another country? Yeah, me either until today. I mean what do you say, do you stutter when you say hello? Where do you look, up, down, around? Today I have a good laugh for you as I share a few female only hostel secrets and what to do when meeting someone naked who doesn't speak your language.  XX Shauna https://sculptedx3.co/ Kettle&...

Combine curry, with stinky feet and peppermint oil and you have the smell of my hostel in Prague. It has been an adventurous first week in Europe to say the least. Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Bruges and Prague in just 7 days. Between having 16 roommates, navigating around the Netherlands without a map or a phone, hot guys and language barriers, being up for 2 days upon arrival and boarding a 2am bus to...
